A photograph from a convention hall shows a man in white clothes bending forward while a standing figure in an orange sleeveless top and dark rudraksha mala places a red flower garland over his head. A woman in a cream and gold-bordered sari with a garland and white flower lei stands beside him, with a visible pass badge. Background devotees in white and yellow clothing observe, with cream curtains and a wall behind them. The standing figure has long swept-back dark hair, and the scene reads as a garlanding ceremony during a pooja session.
